Housing stock in Mission Viejo runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling in most cases tells you when the building went up.

Two visits a year keeps a Mission Viejo roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings after the soonest heavy storm. Loose ridge caps on a Mission Viejo roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. Orange County is no different. Annual inspection on a Mission Viejo property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. This holds across Orange County.
